The Rector Area Chamber of Commerce web site now includes information and photographs concerning vacant buildings and business opportunities in Rector. Since some of the structures have already been listed with real estate brokers, no attempt will be made to circumvent or interfere with the process between seller, broker or prospective buyer. You can view the new Business Opportunities category by using the link in the Resources menu on the right hand side of the site or by clicking here. If would like more information about a particular location, please contact City Hall at 595-3035 or click here to contact the community development coordinator directly. |

 Excitement is building as efforts begin to restore the historic jailhouse facility on Main Street in Rector as a community development office and visitor center. City employees Matt Vaughn and Jerry Mansfield erect a sign in front of the circa 1915 structure which housed the city jail and water office in the early days. The building was donated to the city by the Hamilton-Crockett-Jernigan families. Mayor Ron Kemp was notified this past week that the city has been approved for a grant of $25,000 from the Arkansas Dept. of Rural Services for use in renovating the building. The first phase of the work will begin immediately with ultimate plans for the building to become a real landmark for the city in terms of beauty and historical interest, as well as providing the headquarters for renewed efforts to secure new jobs and businesses. |
 Judy Leach, winner of the Rector Merchants Drawing at the Mayfest celebration last month, hands a check to Shayne Roofe, Manager of Harps Food Store, from the Rector Area Chamber of Commerce which collected donations from many of Rector's merchants for the drawing. The stipulation was that the money be spent with participating merchants only. Way to go Judy!
